    Careful， a night set on edge

    the European tradition of virtuoso

    and the raw desire to articulate.

    I pushed them both backward on the bed in the end

    and each played on， one first

    try and then another.

    Soft then on succession thought.

    The instrument all torso is loved where are held

    fitting the flown down housemartin with a reed

    or belying midway uncertainty

    in tandem the hands， and acts adolescent.

    A natural vaults a natural

    development， his farther back barn jacket

    American and strewn as if spare.

    Thought soft the crescendo all along

    saws， neither stroke inward or from the heart

    except it begins unbecoming

    building in roomy youth.

    We have our no， libido， go.

    Then all limbs arms and loudly I don't want to

    play down the skillless touch
